CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that surfaces and equipment contamination by SARS-CoV-2 RNA in an ED during the COVID-19 outbreak is low and concerns exclusively patients' examination and monitoring rooms, preserving non-patient care areas. In this study, we aimed to assess the surface and equipment contamination by SARS-CoV-2 of an ED during the COVID-19 outbreak depending on patient care and non-patient care areas. In our study, a sample was considered positive if either both ORF1a/b and E genes were Also, we did not detect any presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA on the different surfaces of the patients' registration desk or COVID-19 patients' waiting room.	./cache/cord-290950-v28kilvn.txt	./txt/cord-290950-v28kilvn.txt
